Rafale deal row gets murkier as political blame game continues
By DB POST Digital // September 24, 2018
New Delhi: Accusing the Congress of running a smear campaign against the government at an international level, defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Monday said the row over the purchase of the Rafale fighter jets is a "perception battle".
"We will fight this. We'll go to places and state facts on record on Rafale," she said, according to news agency ANI. Sitharaman assertion and the BJP's counter-attack came on a day the Congress approached the Central Vigilance Commission to seek a probe into the purchase.
On April 10, 2015, PM Narendra Modi announced the purchase of 36 Rafale jets at around Rs 60,000 crore after talks with then French president Francois Hollande.
The previous Congress-led UPA government had negotiated with Dassault for 126 Rafale jets under which 18 jets were to be supplied in a fly-away condition and 108 were to be manufactured in India along with HAL. However, the UPA could not seal the deal.
The opposition asked how HAL was out despite being part of the negotiations with Dassault until just before the PM's visit to France in April 2015. On April 8, then Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar also made it clear that HAL was very much on board.
In the new deal, Anil Ambani's rookie company Reliance Defence became Dassault's offset partner with no experience in the field. As part of the offset clause, Dassault has to ensure that business worth at least half the money – Rs 30,000 crore — is generated in India.
Tweeting a video of the Dassault chairman, the Congress today launched a fresh attack on the government. The video tweeted by the Congress has Dassault chief Eric Trappier speaking on March 25, 2015, in the presence of the Indian Air Force and HAL officers. Trappier can be heard discussing responsibility sharing on the Rafale contract. "17 days later PM Modi gave the contract to Reliance," tweeted the Congress, demanding Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's resignation for "lying to the nation".
Adding a fresh twist to the ongoing row over the Rafale fighter jet deal, the ruling BJP on Monday dragged Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) chief Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra's name, alleging that the latter was keen to get the defence deal to help his businessman friend.
The allegations were made by Union Minister and senior BJP leader Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, who said that Vadra wanted to help his businessman friend Sanjay Bhandari so the previous UPA government led by the Congress party wanted to seal the Rafale defence deal with France. Addressing a press conference, the Union Minister further said that Bhandari and Vadra are close friends and the duo has been seen at various defence expo and exhibitions on many occasions in past.
Sanjay Bhandari ki company aur Robert Vadra ki company ko UPA bicholiye ke taur par istemal karna chahti thi. Jab yeh nahi ho saka tab aaj Congress is deal ko khatam karke uska badla lena chahti hai: Union Minister & BJP leader Gajendra Singh Shekhawat on #Rafale pic.twitter.com/reswoTbaSa
President Hollande dropped a bombshell last week as he said France had been given no choice on picking Anil Ambani's company as Dassault's offset partner in 2016. He made the comment while denying in an interview any conflict of interest with Reliance, which partly financed a film produced by his partner, Julie Gayet, in 2016.
Congress chief Rahul Gandhi attacked the government, saying: "An ex-president of France is calling him (the prime minister of India) a thief. It's a question of the dignity of the office of the prime minister."

Q: How to check if two same values in 2 lists return true using Python I have 2 lists of pixel coordinates
(confirmed pixel[(60, 176), (60, 174), (63, 163), (61, 176)] &
white_pixel [(64, 178), (60, 174), (61, 176)])

I want to compare them both, and if any same values are found such as (61, 176) and
(60, 174), it will return True, meaning at least one value needs to match.
How can I do this in this if statement?
confirmed_pixel == white_pixel doesn't work as all the values in both lists need to be the same for it to return true
if confirmed_pixel == white_pixel and len(confirmed_pixel) != 0 and len(white_pixel) != 0:
    print("True")
    continue

A: Use sets for that, that's the only way to test intersections efficiently. :
confirmed = [(60, 176), (60, 174), (63, 163), (61, 176)]
white = [(64, 178), (60, 174), (61, 176)]

To get the intersection:
print(set(confirmed).intersection(white))
# {(60, 174), (61, 176)}

To get True or False, just cast the resulting set to a bool: empty sets are False, non-empty ones will be True:
print(bool(set(confirmed).intersection(white)))
# True

Another example, with empty intersection:
confirmed = [(60, 176), (600, 174), (63, 163), (6100, 176)]
white = [(64, 178), (60, 174), (61, 176)]

print(set(confirmed).intersection(white))
# set()
print(bool(set(confirmed).intersection(white)))
# False

A: This will do the expected work for you
if any([x==y for x in confirmed_pixel for y in white_pixel]):
    return True

There are certain things that every blog post needs if you want to see results.
Quality is important, but I would argue that the real goal is relevance. Is the content in your blog post representative of the questions your personas are asking?
If the answer is no, you could spend hours preparing the world's greatest blog post on a very interesting topic only to find it ineffective at generating results.
Relevance matters, especially in a world in which millions of blog posts are published every single day. If you're not answering pressing questions and solving real problems, it's almost not worth publishing at all.
That's what we're going to look at today – 5 things you can and should be doing that will make your content not just good, but highly relevant for the people you want reading it.
I write about persona identification a lot, and you probably see your fair share of articles about it.
As simple as it might sound, this very important exercise can make a huge difference in how relevant your content for your ideal customer.
What publications and social sites do they frequent?
Do they recognize or use any industry jargon?
Is there overlap between different personas you may be targeting?
The goal here is to have a clear sense of the language used by your target audience, the type of content they are looking for, and how best to present it to them.
When you know these things, it becomes instantly easier to start mining your existing resources for information. The very first thing you should do?
Ask your sales team for input.
What is the most common problem you hear from customers during the first sales touchpoint?
What issues do you encounter at tradeshows and meetups?
How often do you get referrals and what is the common pain point that triggers the request for referral?
What are the most frequent pushbacks from prospects during the sales process?
While some of these things will be outside the scope of a blog post (cost concerns in hiring you for example), many will be insightful starting points for future articles.
If your blog has been active for some time, review old blog posts that did well and look for common patterns.
The most effective blog posts are likely those that addressed very specific problems, often with tangible, actionable tips that readers could implement right away.
How do you copy that in your next blog post?
You make sure every article you write has the same basic structure and touch points. Focus on the things that matter most – the answers to common questions, validation of concerns, and real-world examples to go with each point.
One of the first things I ask every client I work with is for a list of competitors and sites that are targeting the same personas.
This last part is very important.
Too often, we focus on the direct competitors – the people who are selling the same things. And while that is extremely important (these are the sites you need to appear in front of), what matters almost as much are the sites that your target personas will visit when they have problems you are trying to solve.
I call this the Wikipedia effect. There are tens of thousands of search queries directly related to products and services that Wikipedia frequently buries in the SERPs.
And while there isn't much you can do about Wikipedia results outranking your website, you can evaluate other educational sites to see what they are doing well, what they are not doing well, and what opportunities are being missed.
Finally, give people something to try.
Lists can be highly effective content pieces that capture attention and drive engagement on your site, but they tend to either oversaturate with too many pieces of actionable advice, or they underdo it, watering down each entry to the point that they fail to successfully convey expertise or thought leadership.
Give readers a single piece of valuable information they can walk away with and use in their lives. More is fine, but if you can read the blog post and say, "what now?" it's a failure.
Relevance will do two things for your blog posts.
It will increase engagement and improve response rates from people who read them. If someone feels like your content is written directly for them, they are more likely to continue reading and ultimately click on your call to action button.
If the content is irrelevant, even if it's funny or interesting, it may not keep their attention because time is limited and value needs to be immediately apparent.
Keep these things in mind and you can generate better results from each blog post you produce.
I've worked with hundreds of clients in the last decade – from one-person shops just getting off the ground to 8-figure companies with teams of 250+ people. And they all have one thing in common.
A severe lack of time.
Company size, budget, and resources don't matter. When it comes to the nitty gritty of the daily grind, there is rarely enough time to do everything you need to do, let alone write a bunch of content for the company blog.
It's time consuming, not always fun, and the results you hope to someday see can take a long time in coming. So, it tends to fall to the bottom of the list…and stay there.
But, with the right amount of planning, some clever trickery, and a few shortcuts, you can produce content at a high level of quality in a fraction of the time you think it will take – so much so that you can post to your blog every single day.
I'm a compulsive organizer. To the point that I've had to limit how much time I spend organizing and scheduling things. Too much and I'm wasting time (ironic, I know).
So, one of the first things I do not only for my websites, but for each of our clients is to build a comprehensive list of topics. This includes everything we want to write about, how they relate to each other, and in what format it will be produced.
Keywords – Which keywords will you include in each article? If you have an SEO team, this should come from them. If not, free tools like MOZ or AHREFs.com will help you build a quick list to start.
Problems – What specific problems do you want to address that your prospects have. Forget about the "top 7 of the week" you have on top of your head. Focus on what questions are being asked and how you can answer them.
The goal here is to know what you will write about, with enough detail that you can send it to a writer or producer and not have to explain it in detail.
A laundry list is great, but it's still a mess.
Now we create a calendar. There are a lot of good tools out there to help schedule content, integrating with social media and blogging platforms.
Honestly, you don't really need them.
Break it down by date, separate out each piece you plan to develop and give yourself ample time to write it. Place your new ideas on the side so you can swap them out if something is delayed and color code it based on content type and length. Easy as that – takes 10 minutes to setup.
There's an instinct to break up like topics and spread them out. New eBook? Let's promote it for a few weeks with a new post every 1-2 weeks.
While it's a good idea to keep a piece of content in rotation for as long as possible, don't be afraid to clump your editorially similar content together. Magazines do it. Television programs do it. Why not your blog?
If you have three good content topics prepared for a single campaign, write them all at once and publish them in sequence. This will save a lot of development time.
If you produce content in advance, take the time to batch together like topics, and produce a handful of related pieces for each campaign, you can research it all together as well, building your portfolio in bulk.
Content research, especially in more technically demanding industries, can be extremely demanding, but if you can squeeze a half-dozen pieces out of a single topic, you can greatly reduce the time spent per piece in the research stage.
Additionally, don't be afraid to source your research to entry-level staff – people who have the time to devote to it. It's a great way to train new employees and interns more about your industry, make sure they are engaged with your marketing efforts, and reduce the time required of your generally busier mid-level staff that will be producing that content (or contractors charging you by the hour).
Another way to streamline content development, especially when it is overly technical, is to create a board of experts in your organization. These are the men and women who know the subject matter inside and out.
The trick here is to not source the actual writing to them. Most people will run screaming if you ask them to write 1,000 words with an already busy schedule. What you can do, though, is task your writers or coordinating staff with interviewing these experts, gathering key information and language for the content. Who doesn't like talking about what they do?
At some point, you need to do the actual writing – this is where some quick and easy hacks can help to produce content at a faster rate.
I've been writing content for more than a decade, at one point churning out 10,000+ words a day on behalf of clients.
Sprint Once a Day – Whether you have something to write or not, identify your most creatively productive hour each day and carve out 15-20 minutes to write. During that time, write something on one of the upcoming topics you plan to publish. Good, bad, useless. Doesn't matter. Write anyways and I guarantee you'll find value in the resulting content more often than you don't.
Use a Voice Recorder – Typing is a chore. For some, it's both a chore and a slow way to get thoughts out. Voice recorders, now readily available on phones, tablets, and in all major operating systems are easy to use and easier to transcribe into content at a relatively low rate. For power users, consider dictation software like Dragon or your AI assistant (Siri, Cortana, or Alexa).
Make Videos and Infographics – Writing isn't always the easiest or fastest way to produce content. If your company's expertise lies in design or visual content, don't waste time trying to write it all down. Make videos, infographics, and visual content that captures what you want to say more succinctly.
Write from the Top of Your Mind – By far, the number one barrier to content development in my experience is writer's block. People get stuck because they want to find the right words. Just write down whatever's there. It's not always going to be good or useable, but it will feel better and help you build the kind of habit needed to produce content every day of the week.
If you do it right, you can churn out a blog post every day without it eating into your schedule completely.
But, take the time to be proud of your work – make sure it accurately reflects the best of what you do and how you want people to see and interact with your company. Quality matters, but not to the level of perfectionism.
If you can walk that line – producing something you're proud to put your name on, but isn't polished into obscurity, you'll have a winning formula for rapid fire content production.
And of course, if you still don't have time, you can hire one of our experts and knock it out in no time.


News: Weather body aims to expand its mobile-based offerings.
The Met Office is revamping its weather services through mobile and cloud in a new contract with CA Technologies.
CA's API Management technology will be used for several of the department's core functions, including securely sharing data with business partners and keeping the public, businesses, government and other agencies informed about the weather. These APIs collect the data to provide the services.
The Met Office plans to use this technology to produce new mobile and cloud-based services, including more mobile apps to provide more detailed information about weather conditions. These could be targeted at citizens organising their day-to-day life or organisations such as the armed forces planning exercises.
Using the data collected by mobile phones, including location, apps can provide more personalised information to the user.
Currently the Met Office has a Mobile Weather web app, Met Office Widgets that can be included on websites, and a weather app for mobile.
CA Technologies worked with Computacenter, the IT infrastructure services provider to deliver the service.
The Met Office's Director of Information Technology, Charlie Ewen, said: "The Met Office combines the latest science with ground breaking advances in technology and local understanding to deliver operational advantage to our customers.
"We need to have the necessary knowledge, experience and flexibility to be able to apply our science across business and government to manage risks and opportunities as they arise from our weather."
Milko Van Duijl, Senior Vice President, UK and Ireland, CA Technologies, said: "API management is the glue that connects applications and one of the defining factors that separates the winners from the losers in the application economy. CA API Management will enable The Met Office to monetise its weather and climate data, accelerate mobile services development and grow the organisation."


Xun Feng Dharma King was very interested. Before Jiang Chen told him, went up to Lordmaster Ye Chonglou and the others to remove the restrictions, and took out the antidote to the poison in them.
Now is the life-saving stage, Xun Feng Dharma King naturally can't make it. He only wanted to please Jiang Chen and seek the understanding of Jiang Chen.
Tang Hong's block is very big. In normal humanity, his block is almost twice that of some people. Although it is not comparable to the Golem Race giant, his body is indeed quite different.
"Brother Chen, thank you." Tang Hong grabbed his head. He is also the person of bold, who was not acquainted with Jiang Chen.
However, after the Precious Tree Sect, the disparity between him and Jiang Chen beforehand is getting bigger and bigger, so that the relationship between them is also unfamiliar from intimacy.
Until now, Tang Hong has had some inferiority in front of Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen regrets a bit. didn't bring Tang Hong to the Colored Glass Imperial City before. was worried that the Precious Tree Sect's people wanted more.
After all, Precious Tree Sect has long regarded Tang Hong as a best successor. If the trade rushed to dig him away, Jiang Chen also worried that the Precious Tree Sect's people felt hehes.
The situation of present is very clear. The previous small sect, small influence, either merged, or retired, or shattered to die.
Under the nest, there is no egg.
This is the most simplest truth, since the general trend, no one can do to cultivate one's own moral worth.
Precious Tree Sect is actually very low-key, in the mortal kingdom, it will not cause any huge interest. But who ever thought, this Wind and Cloud Cult is pervasive, even licking this crucial point, they will be caught.
Fortunately, there is Jiang Chen.
It is still on the site of Wind and Cloud Cult, and Jiang Chen also uses the Nine Palaces Maze Diagram to trap the high level of Wind and Cloud Cult. If this group of people gets out of trouble, the threat strength will be great.
After all, this is the site at Wind and Cloud Cult.
Jiang Chen summoned the Gold Biting Rat Race and let them send off the Precious Tree Sect line.
Xun Feng Dharma King is like a donkey at this time, with a low eyebrow and a pleasing eye, in front of Jiang Chen, honest.
When Jiang Chen spoke, the Xun Feng Dharma King had fallen.
Jiang Chen did not take his life, throwing Xun Feng Dharma King directly into the corner and returning to the fight scene.
This time, Jiang Chen's goal is Xiahou Jing.
However, when Jiang Chen was close to the Nine Palaces Maze Diagram, he was shocked. Because, he found that Shu Wanqing, has already faintly found some clues, and will soon get out of trouble.
The Nine Palaces Maze Diagram is now in the hands of Jiang Chen, and its power is only superficial knowledge, so it is impossible to put the Shu Wanqing level of power to death.
If Shu Wanqing finds a way out, it is bound to be will leave trouble for the future.
However, now the Golem Race four brothers have not come to meet, if Shu Wanqing gets out of trouble, Jiang Chen only motivates Soulcharming Puppet Idol to qualify for a fight with him.
However, with Jiang Chen present's strength, Soulcharming Puppet Idol can only mobilize two respects at the same time, and it is extremely difficult for Shang Wanqing.
This Shu Wanqing, speculated by Jiang Chen, he should be at least the cultivation base of the Celestial third level, stronger than the powerhouse of the Celestial double of Xiahou Jing.
Although Celestial third level is still a small Celestial level, there is no breakthrough to Celestial, but Celestial Realm, first level is first level, the difference is very obvious.
If it is not a special genius, Celestial, difference first level cultivation base, the gap is very difficult to fill.
Jiang Chen rushed to the nearby area and saw that Shu Wanqing was about to get out of trouble. Without saying anything, raising his hand directly is an arrow.
Shu Wanqing was concentrating on finding a breakthrough channel. Suddenly, felt that the fatal's threat came from behind, and the body was swaying, and the body was able to avoid an arrow.
However, Jiang Chen's archery art is already beautiful.
After this arrow projects, two consecutive arrows are shot at the same time.
Shu Wanqing's movement skill is not unpleasant, but Jiang Chen's arrow is faster.
The terrible arrow, directly into the thigh of Shu Wanqing.
This is the Sacred Dragon Bow, the power is extraordinary. An arrow injects, almost all of the Shu Wanqing whole person has been abolished.
Shu Wanqing screamed and attracted other people, all of which came this side.
Shu Wanqing forehead sweats, dragging a renant leg, turned into a stream of light, continuous dodge, has fallen into the crowd.
Don't look at Shu Wanqing dragging a renant leg, but once he decides to escape, the speed is fast, and his people are unmatched.
Jiang Chen pressed the Sacred Dragon Bow and did not continue shooting.
This Sacred Dragon Bow, continually motivated, consumes a lot. Jiang Chen didn't want to limit the energy of the limit to a meaningless attack.
The high level of this group of Wind and Cloud Cult, although the top is expert, but it is not worth the effort of Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen's goal is only Shu Wanqing and Xiahou Jing.
Xiahou Jing is also very embarrassed, seeing Shu Wanqing so rushed, knowing that things are not good. Also follow the rhythm of Shu Wanqing, dodge quickly.
Obviously, everyone is very jealous of Jiang Chen's life-defying arrow.
For a time, these people are like trapped|sleepy beast, trapped inside.
"Fellow Daoist Shu, you are not saying, are you looking for an exit?" Xiahou Jing caught up with Shu Wanqing and couldn't help but ask.
Shu Wanqing is very cold. is the first time, feel the threat of this Human Race youngster. Before, Shu Wanqing was hostile to Jiang Chen.
But never thought that this youngster could threaten his life.
But now, Shu Wanqing has to admit that he underestimated Jiang Chen.
Looking at the frigid's injury in the thigh, obviously it can't be recovered in a short time. The destruction of the bow and arrow destructive power, obviously not only hurts its fleshly body, but also hurts his meridians. It affects his whole body operation, which is the most terrible.
If you don't deal with it in time, let the inherit spread, it will only be more disadvantageous to him.
Shu Wanqing is black-faced and has a strong tone.
The muscles of the Xiahou Jing face are slightly twitches. Obviously, he also saw it. Even Shu Wanqing was injured like this, Xiahou Jing from the ponders strength is also inferior to Shu Wanqing.
Such being the case, that Jiang Chen, completely threatened to his life.
"Hey, the brilliant plan is there! The old men also found the approximate position of the exit, but the boy's bow and arrow are indeed virtual impossible to guard against. So, you need someone to do the cover in front. " Shu Wanqing simply is comes straight to the point.
The so-called cover in front is to send people to be a shield.
Although this may not be effective, at least the parties directly face Jiang Chen's bow and arrow.
Xiahou Jing is not a pity for these men's lives, but this kind of order, he is not good at all. If he ordered, these Wind and Cloud Cult high levels will inevitably be separated from Germany. At that time, he Wind and Cloud Cult will become a spatial shell, and everyone will be disunity.
As Wind and Cloud Cult Cult Master, if you let the congregation cold, this Wind and Cloud Cult, you can go and close down at any time.
Xiahou Jing's heart is also very tangled. He knows that to find a way out, it must be Shu Wanqing and his Xiahou Jing have this ability.
Other people, impossible to find a way out.
However, if they both face Jiang Chen's bow and arrow, how can they concentrate on finding exports?
This is indeed a dilemma.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense and dignified.
Everyone actually heard Shu Wanqing's words, and they all figured out the small 99 of the home. Only, at this time, no one can stand up and oppose it.
Because, this is the only solution to the solution.
If this is not the case, in the end everyone's ending may be harvested by Jiang Chen one by one.

I know the title "Sun 'n Fun" is taken, but this is exactly what occurred in Iowa City at the Tandem Wing Spring Fling fly-in this year. Airplanes from all directions descended on this little airport to have another go at discussing why these are great little airplanes.
Paul Spackman from Casper WY came in from the West. So came Lynn French from Broken Bow NE. And Kris Lierfallom from aviation school in North Dakota.
From the East came Earnest & Donna Martin from North Carolina, adding to his Paul Spackman comes in for a landing while Lynn French waits to take the active runway recent milestone of 1000 hours on his Tri-Q200. From the North came Kevin Boddicker from NE Iowa and Jeff Sell in his nice Pulsar from Wisconsin. Bruce & Tom came from Michigan.
From the South came Jeff Letempt, the only Dragonfly to attend. Short hoppers were Paul Fisher, Terry Crouch and Bob Clark, who flew his KR2 to the event from Ankeny Iowa. And one of our local hosts, Greg Zimmerman, taxied his Tri-Q200 to the event all the way from his hangar!
Not only was the hotel within walking distance, it has an aviation theme to it. For example, Earnest and Donna spent the night in the Amelia Earhart room.
The old United hangar was our meeting place for the next three days and it provided us shade, shelter and fast acess to watch who was on final.
On Saturday morning we convened a short distance away at Greg's hangar to enjoy his version of breakfast at the airport. Greg and his friend, Jeff Sales cooked a great hot breakfast. Eggs, hash browns, bacon, sausage, toast, nut breads, the works. No one went away hungry from this one!
The weather was nice throughout the day, but most of the flying took place after dinner when the winds died down some.
First flights were given to Kris Lierfallom and Bob Clark. Here is yet another one of those familliar grins we have all seen over the years from Kris who got a ride from Paul Spackman.
We started a new tradition at this fly-in to honor those who are no longer with us. Shortly after our good friend and former editor Dave Richardson passed away, I was asked by Susie Richardson to find a photo of Dave and his Tri-Q and email it to her for his services. While I was searching for that photo, I came across a photo of their Tri-Q interior which showed a nice towel with the words "Tri-Q Pilot Dave" embroidered on it. I found an appropriate time and asked Susie if I could have it so I could take it to our Quickie fly-ins and have the guys take the towel flying with them as a way to keep his spirit with us. She was delighted to give it to me.
Paul Fisher was the first to take Dave for a flight and Terry Crouch shot this great photo for us to share with the rest of you.
Dave's towel got passed around to most everyone and someone came up with the idea of starting a log book for Dave's Towel to log the hours he gets to ride with everyone. I have started that logbook and will be bringing it to all the fly-ins I attend.
This was Kevin Boddicker's first fly-in with his Tri-Q. This was his first xcountry. As I was looking over his aircraft, Kevin mentioned that he mounted his stick up side down in order to get the clearance needed in front of the fuel tank so as not to have to cut a channel in the tank for clearance. This is necessary for any Tri-Q with a flat canard. He said he got this idea from Lynn French. Kevin sent these photos showing his stick installation. I placed a couple more photos out at the QBA Members Only page at the web site.
One of the things you do at these fly-ins is inspect other airplanes for ideas and gadgets for your own airplane. The one item everyone was looking at was on Earnest Martin's airplane. He has designed a nifty canopy strut system that keeps his canopy open.
His inspiration was the common umbrella. Made from two aluminum tubes that slide into one another, there is a spring loaded latch that holds the canopy open. Now, I could try to describe it here in more detail, but Earnest promises to write his own little article, complete with drawings on how he made this. For now I'll wet your curiosity with a couple of photos.
It is safe to say the fly-in was a success. If the old United hangar is still there, we should try to do it again next year!

Spanish tribute to Welsh sea captain
A Welshman, who helped rescue more than 2,600 refugees from Spain during the civil war, was this week honoured by the people of Alicante.
Archibald Dickson, captain of the merchant steam ship Stanbrook, risked his life to enter the port as the civil war drew to a close.
On Sunday, his son and daughter, Arnold Dickson and Dorothy Richardson, joined an estimated crowd of 1,000 to hear tributes to their father.
The crowd – which also included survivors from the evacuation – was told that Republicans from all over Spain had converged on the port on March 28, 1939 in an attempt to escape the country as Franco's troops advanced to victory.
Between 15,000 and 18,000 men, women and children gathered, desperate to flee Spain.
But Archibald Dickson was one of only a few skippers prepared to take their vessel into the port.
The Welsh captain filled his ship and ferried the refugees to Oran in North Africa.
Manus O'Riordan, son of Irish brigader Michael O'Riordan, said 1,000 people gathered in the rain last Sunday on the pier from which the Stanbrook left "to pay particular tribute to the memory of Captain Dickson".
"For some of the survivors and their children this was a commemoration which, at times, was filled with unbearably raw emotion, culminating in a mass floral tribute to the sea, in remembrance of the dead," he stated.
Archibald Dickson and his crew were all killed only eight months later when the 1,300-tonne Stanbrook was hit by a torpedo from a German U-Boat off Belgium.
Turning memorial into political football
The 'Wise and Foolish Dreamers' project which works with relatives of International Brigaders has been looking into the possibility of a new memorial to complement the one already in place in Cathays Park.
Some relatives have raised the possibility of a memorial in Cardiff either naming those IB-ers who died or all those who went to Spain.
At the moment there is a general plaque in Cathays Park and a list of names on a memorial in South Wales Miners Library in Swansea.
Quite separately, Leanne Wood AM has suggested a plaque be put somewhere in the vicinity of the Senedd. This is something the project thought was a pretty good idea, worthy of further discussion.
As a group, we hope to not only remember people who gave their lives but also to encourage modern-day discussions about tolerance, war and peace.
Leanne Wood was looking for AMs' support for the memorial.
This is usually the kind of subject explored intelligently and sensitively…
…and then, as you may have seen in the Western Mail, Leighton Andrews got involved.

I have been wanting to make my own pillowcase dress for Penelope for some time now and I still have my mom's sewing machine so I thought I'd better do it now. This project was more difficult than the curtains but if you know how to sew I would say this project is relatively simple. I already had everything I needed except for the pillowcase and that I got at goodwill for a dollar. Penelope was picking it up saying 'Princess' so I think that means she likes it. One thing I don't like about sewing is all the prep work. I'm talking about the measuring, cutting, ironing, and pinning. I just want to stick two things together and go.
1. Cut the top off of the pillowcase. I recommend measuring from the open end up 21-25 inches and cutting there.
2. Make two 2" strips out of the left over material. They should be as long as the dress is wide. So measure 2" of the extra material cut it and you should have a circle. then cut that apart on the seems and you will have two pieces. Then fold them about a half inch in and then again on both sides creating your binding. Iron it so it stays.
3. Cut sleeves in the dress and sew binding on. Lay the dress down, measure 2" in at the top and about 5" down. Draw a curved line and cut. Do it on both sides. This is where the arms will stick out. Sew the binding on over the edge so it doesn't fray.
4. Create the spot for the elastic to go through. Fold the top down about 1", fold the edge under, iron it, and sew it. Do this on the front and back pieces. Then cut two 7" pieces of elastic sew 10" of ribbon of your choice onto both ends of both pieces of the elastic. Thread one piece of elastic through the front and one through the back.
5. You can stop here if you want or ad ribbon around the waist to create more shape. If you want ribbon get a large piece and pin it on. Create pleats if u like. Then only sew about 4 inches of the ribbon onto the front. You're done!
That turned out cuter than I envisioned. Well done!!! I pinned it, but wasn't sure if you wanted Penelope's picture out there. Let me know if you want me to delete it.
That dress is DARLING! I thought you were going to make one of the pillow case dresses they have been doing for the humanitarian projects. Yes prep work for sewing or any other thing for that matter is the worst. You go GIRL! You are amazing.
Good job! I know the prep work for sewing slows you down, but it's what makes everything beautiful and finished. Way to go!

This week's episode of Meanwhile in the Future gets very scary, very quickly. And we're not going all that far into the future, either. We're already starting to see the beginnings of an age without antibiotics. So what does a world without these drugs look like? Listen to find out.
Over the past 85 years, antibiotics have been miracle drugs. They've kept infections at bay and opened up a world of medical possibilities: organ transplants, heart surgery, chemotherapy. But they're not going to work forever, the slow, inevitable march of evolution means that antibiotic resistance is on the rise.
This week I spoke with Maryn McKenna and Raj Bhardwaj. McKenna is an independent journalist who has spent many years tracking the rise of antibiotic resistance (enough years that many people refer to her as "scary disease girl"). Her book SUPERBUG: The Fatal Menace of MRSA is about the antibiotic resistant pathogen MRSA, and her next book, about the use of antibiotics in agriculture, will be published next year. For weekly updates on our impending diseases of doom, you can check out her blog Germination at National Geographic.
Bhardwaj is a doctor in Calgary, as well as a frequent columnist on the CBC's morning show Eyeopener.
Some of the scenarios we've tackled previously on this podcast are really out there—I doubt space pirates will drag a second moon to Earth any time soon. But antibiotic resistance is already happening. In 2013 the CDC published a "threat report" on the status of drug resistance, estimating that every year two million people in the United States become infected with antibiotic resistant bacteria, and at least 23,000 people die from those infections. A group called the Review on Antimicrobial Resistance, convened by the UK Prime Minister, came out with a report in December of last year projecting 10 million deaths a year by 2050.
In this episode, we only talked about the ways humans might die, and how to try and prevent those gory, slimy deaths. But antibiotic resistance is a very complex problem. We didn't touch on the various plans people have for trying to convince pharmaceutical companies to make new antibiotics again, or why they stopped making them in the first place (spoiler alert: money). Nor did we talk about the ways in which agriculture, and the constant, low doses of antibiotics fed to the animals we farm, contribute to the problem.
And, if you can't get enough dystopian antibiotic free horror, you can check out this book by Sally Davies, the chief medical officer of the UK.

When you go to a doctor or hospital to receive medical care and treatment, especially surgery, you assume that the doctors will fully inform you of all of the risks and benefits of treatment so that you can make a sound decision. Unfortunately, that is not always the case; and, in some instances, the failure to allow a patient to make an informed choice about their medical care can constitute medical malpractice. In order to hold a doctor, hospital or other medical provider responsible in a medical malpractice lawsuit for failing to give you the information you need to make an informed decision about your medical treatment (failing to obtain "informed consent" from you as their patient), you must prove that you would not have opted to receive certain treatment that caused you harm had you been fully informed about the risks.
Our team of New York and Bronx medical negligence and medical malpractice attorneys are standing by to help you determine if you have been the victim of medical malpractice due to a failure to obtain informed consent. Call my law firm today at (718) 354-8000 for a free consultation to determine if you can hold a doctor or hospital responsible for medical malpractice and medical negligence for failing to tell you the truth about your medical care and treatment.

I picked this novel up because I really enjoyed What Looks Like Crazy on an Ordinary Day. After reading Cleage for the first time, I wanted more Pearl Cleage. I don't know what it is about her novels but they always find me at the right time.
Some Things I Never Thought I'd Do takes place in Atlanta, GA, and revolves around recovering drug addict Regina Burns. Me and Regina met at the perfect time. Both of us were finally stepping into the light after years of being in the darkness and making bad decisions. Both attempting to create a new start and clean up the messes we left behind when we fell to the bottom.
If Regina was real she would have been my prayer partner. I watched Regina face her past, her rock bottom. I prayed for her strength through the many trials and tests she faced, including working for her ex-almost-husband's mother who claimed Regina wasn't good enough for her son and Regina dealing with men too good to be true.
In the end, this book is about triumph and seeing the underdog make a come-up and find love.
I recommend this novel to anyone working towards peace and contentment, to anyone fighting to be the hero in their own story.
Because I'm a poet, I sometimes respond to novels I've read in verse—inspired to add my voice to stories that have moved me.
How many people been to rock bottom?
That point where you can't do anything but go up because going down would leave you 6 feet in the ground, and you got too much life to be dead.
It's a hard place to be.
Stuck between death and life.
At the bottom, we don't think about survival instead we pray for sleep.
But at least we pray.
At least we show signs of faith.
Faith brings hope and hope brings light, and light brings change.
The good thing about the bottom is the only other direction left is up.
Once you start going up, just keep going. All the way up. Then stand and stretch.
You stand just as tall as everyone else.
Just because you started at/fell to the bottom doesn't mean you have to stay there.
Grab a hold of yourself and help yourself up and stand. Stand taller than before.
And live again. Live harder. Live stronger. Live happier.
We all fall. Falling is easy. We fall everyday but getting up is what takes all your strength.
Getting up and cleaning up the mess you made when you fell.
Because when we fall we make a clash! And we do some crazy things.

Inquiet de l'intérêt de son fils pour les claquettes, Willson inscrit Henry à Asheville School en Caroline du Nord, où il espère que les nombreux sports d'équipe et activités de week-end comme l'escalade ou la randonnée aurait une influence sur son fils. Il fréquente ensuite Wesleyan University à Middletown, passant le week-end à Manhattan, où il écrit des chroniques hebdomadaires de potins pour Variety.

Les années Hollywood

En 1933, Willson se rend à Hollywood en bateau à vapeur via le canal de Panama.

Taishakukyo park is highly scenic in all seasons but is busiest during the spring and fall periods. The peak time of year for visitors is during the fall when the leaves are changing color in late October and early November.
There is little (if any) drinkable water except at the trail heads so take plenty of water with you.
The most accessible and beautiful portions of the gorge are north of Shinryu Lake. Most of it can be seen by hiking down from the northern parking lot. Bikes are available for rent at the parking lot. A number of sights including Onbashi Bridge and Hakuundou Cave are on and around this section. South of Onbashi bridge, the trail continues for a bit until it climbs steeply above the gorge. Bikers must turn around at this point.
The trail eventually drops back drop to the river and continues to the parking lots at Shinryu Lake. All of the trail is quite scenic but most of the memorable sights can be seen even if you skip hiking into the hills and move by car to the parking lot near Shinryu Lake.
The largest natural rock bridge in Japan, Onbashi Bridge (雄橋), spans the Taishaku River to the north of Shinryu Lake. It is 90 meters across, 40 meters tall and 19 meters thick. Pictures of it spanning the river are often used as the representative image of the area. It is a designated natural monument in Japan and possibly the third largest natural bridge in the world. It is easiest to reach by hiking south of the northern parking lots rather than those at the lake.
Shinryu Lake (神竜湖) stretches 18 km inside the gorge. The lake is used as a water reservoir and has a dam in the south. The best way to view the lake is on a popular scenic boat ride. The boat tour takes a break from December 1 to the end of March. It operates from 9:00 to 4:30. It costs 1,200 yen and is half price for children.
The park covers an large area and there are many trails and roads through it. There are campgrounds in the park as well as a national parks resort hotel. The Sukora Heights to the west of the lake is the location of the Herb Building and Jenseki Cosmo Dome (sports center with tennis courts). As well, there are restaurants, baths and another resort.
The lower gorge to the south of the lake is less accessible but that may be more appealing to experienced hikers.
The best way to go to Taishakukyo Quasi-National Park is by car. Without a car, it would be difficult to efficiently see most of the sights in Taishakukyo.


About a month ago I found myself on a plane headed to Miami to go an electronic music festival…not a situation I normally prefer to find myself in but it was a bucket list trip for my sister so off I went. I was already apprehensive about being in a large crowd full of very drunk 'spring breakers' so before heading to the festival we did several protection spells and asked for our spirit guides to heighten our awareness. We actually enjoyed ourselves for the the first few hours and then sometime around 9pm one of the aforementioned 'spring breakers' threw up on us….so we left. And then we had the bright idea to try and sell our tickets (which were good for the whole weekend). We had no trouble doing so and made enough money off of them that we were able to fund the entire rest of the weekend. My sister left the itinerary in my very eager and willing hands and we ended up having a wonderful time.
Miami turned out to be an incredibly spiritual place that was full of life and oozing culture from every street corner.

On an off chance, I did a quick google search to see if there were any Black Madonna shrines in the area. Turns out, there's an amazing little chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Regla. She is one of the patron saints of Cuba and is believed to have originated in Africa sometime in the 15th century. Ermita de Regla is often associated with Yemaya, the Oshun goddess of the sea and life. The shrine was built in 1989 and is the lifework of Father Miguel Lobo. You have to call ahead or email if you visit during none church hours. We went on a Friday morning and Father Lobo met us outside to open the door. It's a very beautiful and special place. I was immediately overcome with a sense of reverence as we stepped inside. The Father was very interested in how we had found out about the church and on our way out he asked if he could bless us. I never refuse a sincere blessing and it was a very touching moment. I highly recommend a visit.

We didn't make it all the way down to the southern entrance of the park as it was too much of a drive but we did take a boat tour. Several alligators were spotted as well as loads of other wildlife such as birds. It was really nice to get out of the city for a bit and enjoy nature.
The mangrove swamps of the Everglades.
This has been on my bucket list ever since I saw it featured on Ancient Aliens a few years back. It's a mysterious megalith that was constructed out of coral by the hands of one man (Ed Leedskalnin) in the 1940's. Many theories and conspiracies have arisen from the bizarre circumstances surrounding its construction. Supposedly, Ed only worked at night and refused to let anyone see how he moved the rocks into place. This has led people to believe that he had access to a supernatural energy source or occult power. I was slightly underwhelmed by the size of the site, it's very small and could easily be seen in 30 minutes or less, and it felt overpriced for what was there. Still, I'm glad I went and it was cool to see. I'm not saying it was aliens…but it was aliens!
The main attraction at the Coral Castle.
Miami has an incredibly vibrant latin culture so it's no surprise that there are loads of botanicas to be found. Anything you could possibly need for the Craft can be found. We went to the Botanica 7 Mares and Botanica Nena. I ended up buying A LOT of fixed candles. I got flagged at the airport taking them in my carry-on since I guess they look like explosives. The TSA agent asked me if they were for religious purposes and I looked him in the eye and told him I was a witch…the look on his face was priceless.
Saints at Botanica 7 Mares.
Also, although we didn't have time to drive here. There is a Skunk Ape Research Center in the Everglades!! I am a bit of a cryptozoology nerd so for those who don't know, the skunk ape is the tropical cousin of Bigfoot. Someone go and send me pictures since I couldn't make it!
And if you're interested in any food and small business recommendations, check out my sister's blog post on the same trip!

Peter Handscomb 'definitely in', Marcus Stoinis fit – Justin Langer
July 9, 2019 by 0 Comments
Marcus Stoinis will be fit to play in Australia's semi-final against England and Peter Handscomb will be in the XI as a replacement for Usman Khawaja, according to Justin Langer.
Stoinis appeared to have recovered from a side strain he sustained in Australia's loss to South Africa and batted and bowled during Tuesday's training session at Edgbaston.
"He looks good," said Langer after training. "It was a very good nets session actually, there was a bit of heat in there again and it was very competitive and that always brings the best out in 'Stoins', so he did a good job today and he's fit to go."
Handscomb initially joined the squad as a replacement for Shaun Marsh, who was earlier ruled out of the tournament with a broken forearm. Matthew Wade and Mitchell Marsh were also called in as cover for Khawaja and Stoinis, but Langer indicated that only Handscomb was likely to come straight into the team.
"I'll tell you the truth. Peter Handscomb will definitely play, 100 percent" said Langer. "He deserves it. He was stiff not to be on this tour, he was so unlucky not to be in the initial squad after what he'd done to get us to that point. He's in good form, he played well for Australia A, gives us that nice balance in the middle order. He's got good temperament, he plays spin well, he's on top of his game, so Pete will definitely play."
Australia's relaxed air was evident as they prefaced their training session by singing happy birthday to Austin Marsh, son of Shaun. Later in the afternoon, some of the players wrestled with the toddler on the outfield. The previous day the entire squad walked barefoot around the outfield, a practice described by some onlookers as a type of connecting or 'earthing', but the notion of any new-age ritual was shot down by Langer, who said it was something he would often do with his opening partner, Mathew Hayden.
"What was it called?" asked Langer. "I don't know what you call it, we just took our shoes and socks off and walked a lap of the oval. It's a nice thing to do, it's a nice place to be. Haydos and I used to do it, just as a bit of a ritual before every Test match.
"You can walk on the best grounds in the world with your shoes off. So there's nothing to it. We walked a lap of the oval, we had a tough game against South Africa, it's just about staying as relaxed as possible.
"We know we're going to be up against it. England are a great team and we've got to be at our best, and the best way to be at your best is to be nice and relaxed. It was just walking a lap of the oval with our shoes off. We could've done it with our shoes on and nobody would've said anything."
There is certainly a far more laid back appearance to this squad than the last time they faced England at Edgbaston. In the only T20I of their 2018 tour, Australia lost by 28 runs before going on to lose all five ODIs of the series. But this Australian squad has a very different look, both in personnel and mental state.
"Peter Handscomb will definitely play, 100 percent. He deserves it. He was stiff not to be on this tour, he was so unlucky not to be in the initial squad after what he'd done to get us to that point."
"If you go back 12 months ago there wasn't too much to be relaxed and chilled about in Australian cricket, was there?" Langer said. "And that's the truth. We went through a major crisis in our cricket. It didn't just affect our cricket, it affected our country, so there wasn't too much to be relaxed about. We've had to work hard on being more humble in what we do and being focussed on playing good cricket but also being good people as well. And I know there will be some English people who will laugh about that but its actually true. We had to work hard on that and that's a good bunch of players.
"You get more relaxed as you start playing better as an individual or as a team. Maybe we are a bit more relaxed but only on the back of playing good cricket and having had to work hard on that."
While Australia's squad bears little resemblance to the one that was trounced last summer, Langer said he admires the way England have built a strong squad through continuity.
"They've been together for four years," said Langer. "And going back to the question about this being a more relaxed squad, you get to know each other and enjoy each other's company. They've got great continuity, England, and obviously have unbelievable confidence because they have played together for four years.
"And they've obviously got a good game plan and a lot of very talented cricketers. All those factors combined is why they're the best team in the world at the moment. And we're aware of that – it's going to be a really tough game on Thursday – but looking forward to it as well. It's always nice, England playing Australia in the Ashes or big games like this. We're looking forward to it. It's going to be a lot of fun.
"I have maintained it from day one, England are going to be really hard to beat in this tournament. They had a couple of little blips, but they fought back really strongly and that's what we expected to happen."
"Regardless of what happens on Thursday – and I'm sure Trevor Bayliss and Eoin (Morgan) are saying the same thing – regardless of what happens Thursday they would very proud of what's happened in the past four years."

Facebook is one of the most popular social networking platforms in the world with more than a billion of monthly active user. Moreover it is a great platform to advertise your Business or increase your direct sales. One way of doing this is by paying Facebook to increase your visibility and advertise your page, brand or post. One of the ways to run a successful advertising is PPC campaigning. Pay Per Click on Facebook is much more cheaper than that on Google, therefore even the small Businesses with low budget can market on the Facebook. There are two very similar yet different ways of advertising, i.e. Facebook news feeds advertising and Boosted post.
Facebook news feed are the ads that appear on the news feed of the connections or the audience that you wish to target. An ad is built from the scratch where you add images, content, description and url to it.
These ads pop up in the news feeds of your desired audience and increase the visibility of your post. Once they start following your page they have all the opportunity to see the content that you post. This type of advertising is also used for direct advertising.
Facebook boosted post, or the sponsored post also appear in the news feed of the targeted audience or viewers. Unlike news feed advertising, in boosted post one does not create the post from the scratch. Instead if one of your posts has the relevant content and is attractive, then you boost the post in order to increase the visibility. Targeted audience is quite same in both the forms of advertising but there are some key differences between them as mentioned below.
The most important point of difference between both of them is that Facebook news feed advertising provides a lot more flexibility than that of Boosted post. Boosted post does not allow many alterations although you can select the desired image from Facebook Ad centre, whereas News feed advertising allows flexibility with images, layout, description as well as appearances and URL.
You can also add call per action buttons. Your choice of advertising should depend on the aim of your campaign, weather you want to generate sales or for increasing subscribers. The aim of running a campaigning should always be clear for successful results.

Get Team Trading Pins for the season and afterwards.
How many trading pins should coaches order?
Trading sports pins has become a normal part of most team sports. Players would be disappointed if they did not have any trading pins to trade with the other teams. What makes trading fun is collecting/trading pins from all the other teams they meet, even the ones they don't necessary play.
Different playoff events, tournaments and special events like Cooperstown are great opportunities to order custom pins. The pin styles you create should reflect the accomplishments of the team. For example, you will want to include details which show the type of playoff event, such as district, regional or state. You may also want to include your team's winning average on the design of the pin.

Broken promises mar unique history of Métis experience in treaty making
Highlighting the Halfbreed Adhesion to Treaty No. 3 as a part of Treaties Recognition Week
[KENORA, ONTARIO, November 9, 2022] The Halfbreed Adhesion to Treaty No. 3 is the only instance of a Métis community collectively adhering to one of the historic treaties negotiated with First Nations across Canada. As a part of Treaties Recognition Week, the Northwestern Ontario Métis Community is raising awareness about the "Halfbreeds of Rainy Lake and Rainy River."
In the 1870s, Métis pressed their land and rights claims in the Fort Frances area and ultimately negotiated with Canada and collectively signed on to the Halfbreed Adhesion to Treaty No. 3 in 1875 as a distinct group. Following the signing of the Halfbreed Adhesion to Treaty No. 3 in 1875, Parliament passed the first Indian Act in 1876.
With the passage of the Indian Act and the organization of the Department of Indian Affairs, federal officials refused to continue to recognize the Halfbreeds of Rainy Lake and River as a distinct Métis group and uphold the Crown's promises made to them as a collective, despite the expressed language and promises in Halfbreed Adhesion to Treaty No. 3.
In effect, the Halfbreeds of Rainy Lake and River were provided only two options: (1) become "Indians" under the Indian Act, or (2) receive no benefits from their Treaty with the Crown. These government policies breached the promises made and the Honour of the Crown.
This betrayal of the treaty promise made to these well-known Halfbreed families—as Métis—continues to this day. While some of the descendants of the "Half-breeds of Rainy River and Rainy Lake" have joined Indian Act Bands in the Treaty #3 territory, including what is now known as Couchiching First Nation, many Métis descendants of the "Half-breeds of Rainy River and Rainy Lake" have not and are the Métis successor to the "Half-breeds of Rainy River and Rainy Lake."
"Our unique history and existence as a Métis community in Northwestern Ontario with Treaty rights and broken Crown promises must be told as a part of Treaties Recognition Week'" said Theresa Stenlund, MNO Regional Councilor for the Northwestern Ontario Métis Community (NWOMC). "Canada's breach of the honour of the Crown effectively defeats the very purpose of the Halfbreed Adhesion to Treaty No. 3 and requires reconciliation."
Despite repeated efforts, the promises made in the 1875 Métis Adhesion have never been honoured by the Crown, nor have the Métis community's other claims and rights been fully recognized. This is now changing. In 2017, the Northwestern Ontario Métis Community signed an agreement with Canada to begin negotiations with a view to finding a "shared solution." As a part of these discussions, the Northwestern Ontario Métis Community has been clear that it does not make any claims to and does not seek any reserve lands in Treaty #3 that are held by individual First Nations, including Couchiching First Nation. Nor does it seek to merge or become a part of existing Indian Act Band in Treaty #3.
"The Métis experience in treaty making—whether that be through exclusion to date or by breaches of the Halfbreed Adhesion to Treaty No. 3—must be told. The NWOMC, is working hard to ensure this happens," said Regional Councillor Stenlund.
